Unlike some of the six-parters, which seem to stretch ideas past breaking point, The War Games keeps progressing, revealing more and more, until the climactic final episode(which actually seems rushed!)<br /><br />Oh, and to the other guy, also check out the target Books &quot;Terror Of The Autons&quot;(Chapter 2), The Doomsday Weapon(Colony In Space)&quot;(Chapter 1), and &quot;The War Games&quot;(Chapter 9). The Master and the War Chief are indeed one and the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-34028729942598551552013-05-28T17:44:59.306+01:002013-05-28T17:44:59.306+01:00The War Games is superb.

And to Jamie, the reason The War Chief isn&#39;t revealed as The master here is because The War games comes before Delgado&#39;s first appearance. However, in Terror Of The Autons, The Doctor is warned that an old acquaintance has returned seeking revenge. The Doctor states that he recently saw The Mater hypnotising people, but some were able to offer resistance. In Frontier In Space, The Master knows the events of The War Games. And compare the speech The War Chief gives about peace in The War Games to The Master&#39;s speech about peace in Colony In Space. It is indeed the same fellow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-48020956652117529462013-04-21T22:13:07.353+01:002013-04-21T22:13:07.353+01:00Just watched it for the first time, quite enjoyed ...Just watched it for the first time, quite enjoyed it. Really expected it to drag on as most 6+ episode stories do bit I really liked it. Was half expecting the War Chief to be revealed as The Master but alas that was not to be. I&#39;m sure the performance was an inspiration on The Master though.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18056783008095724042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-68780254611030981862013-01-12T17:56:04.380+00:002013-01-12T17:56:04.380+00:00Despite it being a six part story spread across te...Despite it being a six part story spread across ten I love The War Games utterly and completely! It entranced me as a kid and repeat viewings never diminish the pleasure.<br /><br />BTW as an odd aside, my folks in 1969 were looking for a new house and we went to actor Noel Coleman&#39;s abode (he played General Smythe) which was up for sale, and I recognised him as The War Games was just a few episodes in. I was just six (and a half!) at the time, and I remember defiantly telling him &quot;You&#39;ll never beat the Doctor!&quot; :)<br /><br />And no, my parents didn&#39;t buy his house, I wonder why? ;)The Vodka Yetinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-90295533528593698522013-01-08T22:51:08.104+00:002013-01-08T22:51:08.104+00:00If you don&#39;t think this story is stretched the...If you don&#39;t think this story is stretched then it&#39;s no wonder you&#39;re not a fan of this era.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-40681994509486622712013-01-05T19:18:41.373+00:002013-01-05T19:18:41.373+00:00Not a fan of the Second?
